FNG Loonie, awesome work today, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Peach, thanks for bringing an FNG! Manitoba, Eh? Ya, ya, she’s good. Major hockey fan. Goalie. “FNG Five Hole” was delivered in Cape Fear this month and “FNG Cross Check” sounds too cool; creativity vanished momentarily then Peach delivered a big save with “FNG Loonie,” the Canadian currency.

Beano, thanks for the Tabata skillz!

Cadre Bushwood, thanks for the killer flutters and I believe you won the VT for “closest to the bell” on our Fireman’s Pole Spartan obstacle. Not certain if our “deltas” will be positive or negative when we revisit this obstacle. I’m holding off on placing any bets. The grip was definitely slippery in spots and a legless ascent is nothing short of brutal coming off a pull-up rotation.

Thanks for the AEC trash pickup for a few minutes post-ME! We filled up those trash bags quickly.
